Greetings,

I am running FreeBSD 10.0-STABLE r261733 amd64 on a system with an AMD =
"Brisbane" CPU:

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ (2835.16-MHz =
K8-class CPU)
  Origin =3D "AuthenticAMD"  Id =3D 0x60fb2  Family =3D 0xf  Model =3D =
0x6b  Stepping =3D 2
  =
Features=3D0x178bfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE=
,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,HTT>
  Features2=3D0x2001<SSE3,CX16>
  AMD =
Features=3D0xea500800<SYSCALL,NX,MMX+,FFXSR,RDTSCP,LM,3DNow!+,3DNow!>
  AMD Features2=3D0x11f<LAHF,CMP,SVM,ExtAPIC,CR8,Prefetch>

"kldload vmm" gives these kernel messages:
  amd_iommu_init: not implemented
  amdv_init: not implemented
  amdv_cleanup: not implemented
  module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vmm, 0xffffffff80f5abf0, 0) error 6

and "# bhyveload -m 256 -d /dev/zvol/bigz/bhyvetest bhyvetest" gives:
  vm_create: Device not configured

Am I right in thinking that bhyve support for AMD processors is not yet =
in -STABLE?

If so, is there working code for bhyve under AMD anywhere? Where? -HEAD, =
projects/bhyve_svm or somewhere else? Is it considered experimental, =
stable, or something in between? Should it work with the above =
processor?

Looking forward to trying bhyve on this hardware.

Thanks!
